About
Note: I have already had Corona Virus so I am comfortable with in person or Zoom settings.
Romantic, personal, heartfelt, inclusive. I am also a singer and often use music in the service. I supply sound for the ceremony when needed and help with everything from vows to ways to include friends and family in the ceremony if desired. I do not simply read the ceremony from a page, I am very present with everyone there.
I have already had the virus so I'm not concerned with in-person gatherings, but am also very good at working on Zoom or other formats.
Everything! I love helping people have the most beautiful ceremony. It's creative, and I work with the couple to make sure it's the perfect ceremony for them. I do not have a cookie cutter approach. Often people say to me afterward that it was the best wedding they ever attended.
The planning is easy and I am good at working with people to plan online. I send out my materials on email and give you all the time to you want to talk and plan.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we get to know each other. We talk as much as the couple wants. I suggest a ceremony outline and explain the elements within it. I can make creative suggestions when other traditions are incorporated.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a ritual and theatre background, as well as a musical one. I do not read the ceremony from a page, I am completely present with the couple and the community. I am also a counselor so I am able to help with any problems that come up.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I have a sliding scale so that I can be sensitive to every couple's budget. Generally that range is $400 to 800 for a
custom wedding. I charge something for travel if it is a good distance away.
How did you get started in this business?
I have been asked to perform ritual since I was a teen. My love for helping others in every capacity led me to performing weddings after I'd been asked to sing at them for years.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with couples from every walk of life.
